Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) revealed on Saturday that she’s cancelled her subscription to The Washington Post following the newspaper’s decision not to endorse a candidate in this year’s presidential election. Cheney, in a talk with The New Yorker editor David Remnick at The New Yorker Festival on Saturday, emphasized the “fear” tied to the decision before going after the newspaper’s billionaire owner, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.

“When you have Jeff Bezos apparently afraid to issue an endorsement for the only candidate in the race who’s a stable responsible adult because he fears Donald Trump, that tells you why we have to work so hard to make sure that Donald Trump isn’t elected,” said the Republican per The Hollywood Reporter.

She continued, “And I think also, why we ought to not forget what has happened, forget who’s taken brave and courageous stands. And I canceled my subscription to The Washington Post, just saying.”

The condemnation from Cheney, a harsh Trump critic who has been stumping for Kamala Harris on the campaign trail, comes after the Post’s editorial board reportedly drafted an endorsement of the vice president before Bezos “reviewed” it and ultimately decided against its publication.

1. Republicons and Russians are laughing their asses off

at the cowardice of Billionaire-Bro Bezos -- and his subbie republicon "pals."

[bucolic_frolic]

2. Like the owner of a sports team telling coach what to do

Epic fail. Bezos thinks he's the next Eloon!

3. We should boycott Amazon too

That would hit him where it really hurts. And Tesla, and starlink, and space x, and whatever Peter Theil (who is also an immigrant and co-founder of PayPal https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Thiel]) is invested in, etc.

4. Amazon is hard to avoid, but doable. Avoiding buying a Tesla is easy. Lots of options now.

5. Should and would? same with twitter and other avenues that have addicted so many people.

10. Personally I had no expectations that Amazon or any shopping site/store would make an endorsement.

A newspaper like WAPO is a different story though. They should have endorsed. And their decision not to is coming back to bite them. Good!

[debsy]

13. I certainly never had expectations of Amazon endorsing either

I’m just saying- if one wishes to inflict financial “pain” on Jeff Bezos, Amazon is one way to do that, though it would require a lot of participation.

14. I've definitely canceled my WAPO subscription, and I won't recommend WAPO to anyone

unless something changes with WAPO. I used to rec it to other people a lot. I even bought gift subscriptions for friends. But not anymore.

6. An early, painful death

Would be appropriate for the billionaire oligarchs trashing our republic. Tesla, Starlink, and Space-X would function even better without interference from Musk. Musk doesn’t do squat. It’s the engineers at the companies that make everything work. The one place where Musk took control, Twitter/X is now a worthless cesspool. And he’s on his way to doing the same to Tesla if the Board doesn’t dump him.

9. Too late

Millions of us will never own a Tesla, even a used one because we associate them with this choad. He's the face of the brand just like antisemite Henry Ford was to his.

7. Thank you, Liz.

8. Spot on!

11. Maybe eliminate this perk ASAP

The stupid mf'er:



*The USPS also delivers Amazon of Sunday. No way that greasy mf'er is gonna pay those employees Sunday rate. $40.00/hr or more? Who the fuck is footing that bill? It ain't baldy bozos.
